EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 37 [ROUGH]

Haven't had a chance to read through the second half of this since a big flood of inspriation, so that's probably really rough, sorry!

Hope you enjoy either way! And remember, NO chapter next week while I'm in VA filming!

A few rules & reminders:

STORMWEAVER II: Chapter 37 Sneak Peek (and happy Turkey Day!)

Oh man this one has been fun to write. Wrapping it today for a tomorrow release!

Reminder that there is NO chapter next week! I'll be in Virginia filming with Daniel Greene for a fun little project you'll hear about very soon!

Enjoy!

For the better part of a minute the two of them battled it out right there beyond the lip of the bar, neither taking nor giving an inch. Rei wasn’t about to let Aria gain ...

I'm sorry yall.. I genuinely do not know if I will be able to let this one go...

She's too fucking adorable 😭 This one might have to get framed and put up on my wall...

Let's have some community fun ;) What field should the Chapter 37 fight take place on?

If you've read Chapter 36, you know what fight I'm talking about. Top vote tomorrow morning will be the setting!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 36 [ROUGH]

This one wrapped for me earlier than expected because I realized I wanted the next part to be it's own chapter rather than 'second half'.

Get ready for 37 though... That one is going to be something...

I may not be able to give this Aria away when she's done...

Long way from done, but I love her so much...

Sorry for the lack of a Chapter. For those who don't know, it's MtG Prerelease weekend.

I don't take planned vacations often, but I really do try to make Prerelease weekends purely for me without stressing about anything else. Plus is is an artifact set, so no way I'm missing this.

New chapter next week for sure, and I think it'll be not only long, but one you all have been waiting for for a minute ;)

Cheers all! And you MtG player playmat owners better be rocking your Galens and squad mats this weekend with me!

Colored Aria (WIP)

She's not done, but thought you guys would like a glance at another Aria from the playmat Kickstarter! She's coming along!

Hey all! Feeling better, back from my mini vaca, and The Sword of Kaigen Kickstarter is standing on its own legs, so I'm back at it! Haven't had a chance to write all week, so it's gonna be a busy morning today and tomorrow, but look forward to Chapter 35 on Sunday, + another "The Story So Far" compiled chapter collection!

Under the weather

Hey guys, in case it wasnt obvious from my total lack of participation in the Patreon and Reddit this week, i am under the weather. Frankly feeling like I'm starting to work myself into a bit of a hole, so I'm taking tomorrow and the weekend and will hopefully be back strong next week. Sorry to disappoint!

34 coming this weekend!

Sorry all! My stupid pantser brain decided THIS was the chapter we needed to slot that long-awaited Christopher Lennon fight into, so that's thrown me for a loop -_-

Coming Sunday at the latest!

STORMWEAVER II: Chapter 34 Sneak Peek

Small chance this comes out Saturday instead of Friday if my Morning goes nuts tomorrow, but I don't think so!

Enjoy!

***********************

It took a bit to locate the Lancer, unfortunately. Either because Vademe saw Rei’s approaching coming and reacted or just knew a head-on fight wasn’t something he could win, the boy was nowhere to be found as Rei found the spot his starting circle had been, made obviously by the fo...

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter ?? [ROUGH]

I promised you all something this weekend, and I didn't want to be a liar sooo... here is your 9:30pm Sunday drop, lol!

Like I said Friday, this is a scene that I just had to get out of my head. It will be a doozy once we get to it in the actual story because I can assure you a LOT will change about it, but in the meantime I hope you all have fun trying to guess where I THINK Rei's story is headed in the meantime, even if I change it before we get here ;) View Post

Holy SH*T these guys look good!!

If you missed out, want extras, or changed your mind about getting one, you can still grab them! We're shipping out starting this week!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 33 v2 [ROUGH]

This one ended up pretty long, but I really needed to inject some of the... err... 'action' I think we've been lacking so far this book 😅

33 v2 incoming today, then jumping ahead a little this weekend!

Hey all! Just a heads up that the finished chapter 33 is dropping today, but it may be tomorrow or Sunday when the next one drops! For one thing I decided to jump ahead to a scene that was really sticking with me, and for another we not only received the Stormweaver playmats Wednesday, but also the Mother of Learning books Tuesday, so my entire week has been practically shot!

I need to do a lot of signing for the playmats, but once that's done I should be free again to get back to writ...

ART: Stormweaver - we decided to go with a more consistent artist

Still a Secret Project, but we wanted to go with someone a little more consistent with their art presentation, so we're redoing some of the pieces you've seen so far in preparation!

Hope you enjoy!!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 33 [ROUGH]

As I mentioned yesterday, I am not pleased with this ending, so so you can look forward to me working on getting you not only 34 next Friday, but hopefully also a 33 v.2!

Wanted to see what trying to write like a serial chapter would come out to, and I dooooon't like it -_-

a quick note and some Stormweaver art

Hey all! Two things!

First: I am not at all happy with the ending of the "chapter" you guys are getting tomorrow morning. I was trying something clever and in the end it just feels like I'm cutting an important scene short. 

(To clarify, I was testing out what would happen if I tried to write like "serial fiction" which recommends 1.5k to 2k-ish word chapters. Turns out I don't like it lol.)

Unfortunately, I don't have time to fix it because I'm at NYCC for the weekend ...

Q3 Patreon-Exclusive Editions! Stormweaver art! A reminder!

Hey all!

First: a reminder that there is no chapter this week. I needed a break for my best friends wedding, and honestly we've had so much going on I'm taking advantage to catch up on emails and stuff to.

Second: I've attached some sketches for some art piece reworks we having coming! I loved working with the previous artists, but it was pointed out a few times that the art was inconsistent with other projects of ours, and this is Stormweaver. You guys would kill me if i...

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 31 [ROUGH] - Take 2

Take 2, cause I'm an idiot -_- Sorry for the fakeout.


Only after I reread did I feel like this chapter ended flat-footed, so while I know I said I would take a break next week, I will probably at least "finish" this chapter at some point after another 1000 words or so, so maybe look forward to that next week if I can find the time!

High, high above him Rei caught a flash of red hair in the sunlight, framed in arching blue as Aria’s form briefly appeared, then vanished again. An idea came to him, borrowed from some months back, and Rei snorted.

Then he set his legs, crouched, and leapt straight up, calling on Shi...
